Rahkshi Lalonde Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 [gallery link] Side Back Bones Some more pics While i'm certain more people hold nostalgia to the first 3-6 years of Bionicle, my only 2015 purchases kind cornered my color scheme for this contest, and thus i bring a character from what was essentially Bionicle's last functioning year, hope i pulled this off, all the same. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallior Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow, Rahk Lalonde, this is great! Strakk was my favorite Glatorian, and this really does him justice! It has all of the great, original aspects of Strakk, the shoulder ice plates, the jutting forward head, the ice axe, the hunchback, and the EVIL RED EYES I always tweaked him with. It's even better with the gear function! 10/10 great job! Hope you win! Quote "Remember when the comics forum had a lot of good stuff?

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow! This is amazing. It captures the look of Strakk extremely well. You got that hunch down perfectly, and the implementation of the gearbox to that design works better than I would have expected. How you achieved that is quite innovative. He does look a little heavy on armour, and I feel like it probably could have used less in the torso. Awesome weapon as well. Overall, a really solid recreation. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it's worth metioning though that the gears are a bit hard to turn, since his knob sticks straight out of his top, rather than his back. mostly though, i'm answering this to answer anyone who may ask later: the red eyes are actually because i only had a red glatoriqan head to use.

Mr. Cup of Fail Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The idea of the MOC is there but it didn't came out good, I like what you did with the body but the armor placing isn't good and the silver armor bugs me because of it being the only silver piece on the body. The shoulder armor I think it had been better if they was frost beast shoulder armor (aka HF Strakk armor as I like to call it). Last the weapon I'm not a big fan of but it's alright.

Shadow Destroyer Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This is great. I love how you kept the hunched-over look from the original set, and the ax looks fantastic. I'm so happy you didn't just go with the original piece for his weapon. Also, the fact you managed to keep the gear function makes it even better. Nice work!

Last the weapon I'm not a big fan of but it's alright. i mean, in my defense, the BA chest only really comes in metal colors. and, i sorta didn't have frost beast on me. :0 This is great.

I was actually having trouble trying to make the axe and not make it too bulky, I sorta lucked out in remembering i had axonn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Cup of Fail Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Yes... or change the chest armor to something else.I think that would help make it better.

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yes... or change the chest armor to something else.I think that would help make it better. I dunno, i was kinda trying to keep silver to a minimum, the BA chestplate of course is the minimum, by being the only chestplate i have. :u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
